Notes

Designed to compliment the Shearwater-class of battleship, the Tripoli-class Destroyer provides capabilities superior to those of the Arleigh Burke-class on which the requirement was based. Although physically a larger ship, the Tripoli gives enemies a far smaller radar cross-section thanks to the use of radar absorbant materials and low-radar observability hull geometry, much like her larger sister ship, the Shearwater. Likewise, her radar systems have been improved to include the same LPI mode as that of the larger vessel. The inclusion also grants it a superior ability to engage low-altitude and low-radar-cross-section targets. Although this capability is intended to be used against sea-skimming anti-ship missiles, there is some thought that its aptitude for targeting objects which grant only small returns could be used to engage stealth aircraft.

Notes

The new Shearwater-class of battleship coming into service with the Dominion of Kotterdam Navy is designed to fill a gap caused by the lack of sufficient numbers of the so-called Armoury Ships. Designed to provide fire support to land engagement as well as forming the core of a conventional surface action group. Designed with low-radar-observability hull geometry and incorporating the latest in radar absorbing materials, the Shearwater is a virtual ghost on the waves. Her radar systems are equivalent to those on the Ticonderoga (CG-47) class Guided Missile Cruiser but for one important distinction: The radar systems of a Shearwater-class vessel include an LPI, or Low Probability of Intercept mode, allowing them to function at reduced power levels and still return reliable data without giving away the battleship's location.

Finally, in a relatively unique move for a modern vessel, the Shearwater includes three high-calibre battleship rifles. These weapons can be computer aimed and maintain a rate of fire of forty five rounds per minute per gun, a total of 135 rounds per minute. This allows the Shearwater to devastate targets even without the use of her more modern arsenal.

Notes

Designed both to compliment the Shearwater-class of battleship, and to replace the aging Belknap-class guided missile cruisers already in service, the Bonadventure is a potent surface combattant. Between its arsenal of missiles and its pair of twin five-inch gun mounts, the Bonadventure-class is capable of devastating barrages of firepower, both against naval opponants, and in support of land operations.

As with all surface combat vessels designed by VanDoos Shipyards thus far, the Bonadventure incorporates low radar observability hull geometry and radar absorbant materials to reduce its radar crossection dramatically to the point where it is nearly invisible. As well, in a measure usually reserved for submarines, the inner hull is insulated against sound. The ship can actually sprint at 20 knots in complete silence, much like the best attack submarines. This, combined with the TACTAS sonar allows it to surprise submarine commanders by seemingly appearing out of nowhere to engage them. Coupled with its impressive stores of ASROCs and its Silverfish SCSG torpedoes, it is already building a fearsome reputation amongst submarine commanders without having fired so much as a single shot in anger.

Notes
The Corsair is the second in a new generation of Dominion-built naval vessels that began entering service when the Kraken-class SSN was commissioned. Relying entirely upon reliable, silent DSEMP drives, the Corsair is a fast, stealthy, efficient sub hunter.

Equipped with the latest in ASW SONAR systems, the brand new SH-71A Sea Python ASW helicopter, an exceptional suite of ASW weapons, both the Prairie/Masker (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/systems/prairie.htm) and NIXIE countermeasures systems, and the new ultra-quiet drives, the Corsair is an utter nightmare for submarine captains. The odds of a submarine detecting one in time to respond before it is destroyed is very low.

As with earlier Dominion vessels, the Corsair is built with low-observability hull architecture, and Radar Absorbant materials. This, along with its low-probability of intercept capabilities for its radar systems, makes it a ghost on the waves.

Notes
The Seawolf-class submarine was a superb addition to the DKN, but when production rights were traded for with the Empire of Eris Kallisti, the Dominion decided to make a few minor adjustments before putting their new submarines into service.

First came the addition of sixteen vertical launch system tubes for Tomahawk Submarine Launched Cruise Missiles. Then, the screw was replaced with a more efficient model that provided only a marginal improvement in top speed, but a marked increase in the tactical, or "silent" speed, increasing it by a full quarter. The Augmented Seawolf is also the first vessel in the DKN to come equipped with the new Silverfish torpedo as part of its standard compliment. Manufacturing rights for the Silverfish are not included with any deal regarding the Augmented Seawolf, however rights for the MK48 ADCAP are.

SH-71A Sea Python

The SH-71A Sea Python offers an odd profile for a transport aircraft, employing an attack-style cockpit with a radome beneath the nose where the gun turret is on the MH-71A variant. As durable as its parent helicopter, the SH-71A maintains exceptional ASW capabilities. It carries twice the payload of an SH-60, a result of the heavy weapons load it carried in the MH-71A configuration, and superior sonar. As well, an airborne radar and fire control unit allows it to perform anti-shipping operations using Harpoon ASMs and defend itself with a pair of Stinger AAMs. All in all, the SH-71A is an exceptional replacement to the SH-60 Seahawk.

Su-37W Super Flanker

Originally given the task of simply westernizing the successful Su-37 Super Flanker, the VAC cooperated with the Sukhoi Design Bureau to replace the fighter's systems and bring it in-line with the western fighters already in service with the DKA. The resulting aircraft, however, has been found to be superior to the baseline design. Especially impressive is the new suite of electronics.

Especially impressive is the new Wide-Angle Tactical Radar System, or WATRS. (Pronounced "Waters"). The WATRS system is not a single radar system, but rather a series of independant transmit/recieve modules built around a single powerful module in the nose. These modules form an Active Electronically Scanned Array radar system similar to the NORA system under development by Ericsson Microwave Systems. WATRS has a range of 241 kilometers, or 150 miles, and a coverage of 200 degrees.

As well, the WATRS is not simply a radar. It offers a complete range of electronic warfare and jamming capabilities, as well as the added versitility of a data transfer system, allowing similarily equipped fighters to share tactical and strategic information. As well, the WATRS is also a multi-role system, functioning equally well in ground attack mode as it does in its long-range air combat role. Designed to engage tanks, fighters, and cruise missiles with equal ease, it is a potent system.

Longfield Electronics has also contributed its new Rear Facing Search, Track, and Targeting Radar/Optronic Fire Control and Surveillance system to replace the similar NO-12 unit from the original design. Created specifically for the project, the RFSTT system covers the 160 degree blind spot of the WATRS unit out to a range of ninety kilometers, or fifty-six miles. This grants the Su-37W a full 360 degree radar coverage, as well as the ability to target and fire upon aircraft behind it, whether through the use of command-guided or aft-facing missiles.

The new supercooled infrared search and track system by that very same company allows the Su-37W to track targets without the use of its radar by their infrared signals. Capable of tracking targets from all aspects, it adds an extra degree of lethality to this already dangerous fighter.

In a further advancement, a combination of fly-by-light controls and an improved two-dimensional thrust vectoring system renders the already maneuverable Su-37 even more so. As well, the pilot's seat has been set at a 30 degree angle, much like that of the F-16, allowing the pilot to withstand the increased G-pressures of this added maneuverability.

Yet another feature adds to the survivability of this aircraft. While, like other western fighters, it is quite capable of ejecting flares and chaff should missiles be fired at the fighter, it also includes an FOTD unit. FOTD stands for Fiber Optic Towed Decoy. The FOTD takes its inspiration from a system designed for the F-16 Fighting Falcon. Functioning by emitting a signal like that of a threat radar. Towed at varying distances behind the fighter, it causes radar-homing missiles to engage it rather than the fighter by emitting a signal more powerful than the radar return of the aircraft, causing the missile to target it instead. Deployed only when under fire, the FOTD will obviously only function until it is destroyed, although there is a high chance that a missile confused by it will miss both the decoy and the fighter.

The fighter is also available in a naval version with folding wings.

F-23B Black Widow II
Although it was defeated by the F-22 Raptor in the US Air Force's ATF competition, the Dominion of Kotterdam nonetheless decided that the YF-23 would make an excellent base for their stealth fighter. Cooperating with the Vega Aircraft Consortium, Northrop and McDonell-Douglas, that long-time supplier of the DKAF began work on improving the design. An extra bay for two more Sidewinders was worked into the design, granting it a more potent air-to-air punch. Other than that, the most major change was to the control systems, changing them from fly-by-wire to fly-by-light in a move designed to grant the design marginally better maneuverability.

More agile, and more stealthy, both to radar and to infrared than the F-22, the F-23B also has the advantage of superior range over the former fighter. The improved payload can be augmented even further by the six optional wing hardpoints, three per wing, four out of six being wet. Because of their effect on the Black Widow II's radar signature, they are almost never used on aggressive missions where stealth matters. Only on CAP missions are they used, and even then, only during relatively safe situations.
